Forget compact shoulder bags – Martha Stewart just got smaller.
While the 82-year-old has spoken at length about her love of Bandolier phone cases – she once said Vogue that her crossbody pocket purse has eliminated the need for purses in her closet — she recently reaffirmed that her adoration hasn’t waned by stepping out with the Hailey Leather Side Slit Crossbody Bag on two separate occasions.

On March 12, Stewart wore a forest brown and gold version of the phone case over her body when she attended a cookbook launch for her friend, Kimball Musk. In a series of photos posted to her Instagram account, the lifestyle guru styled her versatile case with a blue cut, straight leg jeans and brown patent leather boots.

Just days later, on March 16, Stewart posted again with a phone case when he shared some snaps from a trip to the Bahamas. Proving that the Bandolier crossbody really can go anywhere, the TV personality held on to the case as she stood on the beach in a red and white striped cover-up.
Stewart isn’t the only fan of the hands-free phone case: Donna Kelce wore the aptly named Donna Side-Slot Crossbody when she stormed onto the field with Taylor Swift after a Kansas City Chiefs game in February, and Blake Lively has been known to wear the accessory without fuss, too. While everyone may have reached for different models, each one has similar details, like a wallet compartment for credit cards and cash, thin leather carrying straps, and luxurious hardware, that make carrying the Bondelier bag so cute and practical.
